OK, so we can’t win every game every year, but our ONE overtime win has really got us down. So much so that if we lose to Vandy, I think we’ll all be saying “WAR DAMN IT”! Buy your WAR DAMN IT tshirt from wardamnshirts.com now: http://goo.gl/Cz1Uf

Whats up with all the haters lately? We have a whole new coaching staff and a bunch of young, hungry, excitable guys – we’ll turn this thing around, don’t worry. Show everyone your loyalty to our dear ol Chizik by wearing the WAR DAMN CHIZ t-shirt to the Arkansas game in a couple of weeks. War Damn Eagle!

After what has seemed like a very loooooooooong summer sans-Auburn football, the time has come for daily, no HOURLY, check-ups of everything Auburn in anticipation of the upcoming season.

As the Tigers report today for the start of Fall practice, let me be the first to say “Welcome back, Tiger fans!”

It has been a difficult, yet exciting off-season. We have watched intently from a distance as our coaches reloaded during National Signing Day and through spring training and the posts here have been few and far between. I know I haven’t posted anything in quite a long time, but the anticipation has gotten to be too much for me so I’ll start us off this 2010 season.

I can’t think of an off-season that has gotten me so excited as this one. From the seniors we return and the incoming freshman that we welcome to the cohesion of our coaching staff, this summer has definitely been a blast.

BUT I’M GLAD IT’S ALMOST OVER!

Ladies and gents, college football is around the corner. Soon the leaves will start to turn and the sweet smell of bourbon will fill the air.

The good folks from West Virginia must have wondered what kind of crazy, fanatical, severe-weather-ignoring lunatics they have down on the plains. They found out. And soon enough, so will everyone else: The passion is back on the plains.

Around 9 pm a crowd started to gather at Toomer’s Corner. Why you ask? For the first “Toomer’s Corner Walk-Through” where Auburn fans get a chance to rub elbows with some of the nation’s top football recruits. Of course the tree was rolled and of course all the Auburn cheers were sung, but the most important thing was for these recruits to see how serious Auburn is about getting them here to play football. Coaches Taylor and Looper fired up the crowd. Coach Taylor even added a little spice by breaking out his famous chest-bumps with all the recruits. Everyone was in great spirits and every recruit seemed to be having a wonderful time.

Before we get to the pictures, I just want to add that yes my camera sucks and yes I’m not a fantastic photographer. Additionally it was dark obviously and taking pics of people constantly moving through a large crowd and toilet paper will test anyone’s abilities.
